Beauty of nature

Leaves reddening in autumn winds, birds flitting from one branch to another, and farmers laboring in expansive fields... These scenes of peace and serenity, the hallmark of the work of oil painter Pan Yikui, who previously studied in Russia, show the deep influence of great Russian artists, lending his work a poetic, nostalgic feel. His landscapes are a celebration of the beauty of nature and people, as well as of serenity and the simple life. In the same vein, Pan also focuses on China and its people in his paintings. His ongoing solo exhibition at the China National Academy of Painting is a celebration of the dynamism of lives, expressed in a symphony of vivid colors. Pan is also a deputy director of the National Art Museum of China and his investment in creation, alongside his administrative duties, is born of his passion for painting and his interest in promoting cultural exchange between China and the world. The exhibition runs until Oct 1.

9-11:30 am, 1:30-4:30 pm, daily.54 Xisanhuan Beilu, Haidian district. 010-6841-2606.
